There's a bug in the 7.0b4 serial driver: closing the modem port closes
the printer port instead. Among other unfortunate effects, this clobbers
AppleTalk. The workaround is to go to the Chooser, turn AppleTalk off
and back on. A better workaround is to install the enclosed init, which
I found on AppleLink.
According to Greg Marriott at Apple, "the bug only occurs on Mac II
class ROMs. This includes: Mac II, IIx, IIcx, and SE/30. The
SerialInit extension will only load on affected machines running 7.0b4.
(other machines don't need it...)"
SerialInit is small (4K), so I've just attached it here.
